Photo of the Day - Friday 4 May 2012

Llesa Hepworth

'This photo was taken at 17:30 on 29 March 2012 from the shores of Lake Tekapo during our trip to watch the Maadi Schools Rowing Cup in Twizel. After a brilliantly fine hot day, the clouds suddendly and silently rolled down over the ranges of Mt Cook as the day drew to a close. The photo was taken with a Canon EOS Rebel T2i 550D on auto setting. It is one of the many amazing landscape shots that this incredible camera took on auto setting during our brief stay in the majestic Mackenzie country.' wrote Llesa.

Ian Cooper

Ian wrote 'general fog is actually quite rare on the Manawatu flood plains where I live, but is more common in autumn. I caught this fog bow on the way to work in town. Note that the area inside the arc is lighter than that outside as is the case with rainbows. Photo was taken at 07:40 on 13 April 2012 from the other end of Main Drain Road at Mangawhata where the Main Drain takes a right angle turn. The Main Drain was dug by hand during the Great Depression by men wearing coarse sugar bags sewn into jackets. The fog rolled into Palmerston North after sunrise, also a rare event!'

Ben Fellows

'I took this looking out back door in Ashhurst towards the eastern hills - start of the Ruahines. The rising sun with clouds in foreground making a flaming fire kind of effect. This was taken at 07:30 on 31 May 2011 with an iPhone 4 camera. Kind regards, Ben Fellows.'
